"recognition ... irrespective of scale, distortion and noise" sounds pretty interesting. Are these capabilities outside of current NNs? I'm familiar with NNs ignoring noise, but not scale. But my NN investigations are several years old...
I wonder if distortion includes any degree of rotation. I don't have time for the demo this night. ---------- Forwarded message ---------- From: Numenta, Inc. <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Date: Mar 20, 2007 6:30 PM Subject: Numenta Newsletter: March 20, 2007 To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Numenta, Inc. Newsletter March 20, 2007 Dear newsletter subscriber: I am pleased to make several announcements regarding the Numenta Platform for Intelligent Computing (NuPIC). First, we now have available on our web site a demonstration program using the Pictures example which enables recognition of simple line drawings irrespective of scale, distortion and noise. This demo is a Windows(r) client application, and is very easy to use and install. The Windows program accesses NuPIC running on the Numenta Linux cluster in California to perform the recognition task, so you do not need to have Linux installed on your local machine. However, you must be connected live to the Internet in order to use the demo. You can find the demo here: http://www.numenta.com/about-numenta/technology/pictures-demo.php The purpose of this demo is to give you a sense of the capabilities of the platform without having to install the platform itself. And, the demo is a lot of fun to use! (Note that the complete platform only is available on Linux and MacOS today - see below for more information about NuPIC and Windows.) The demo is particularly well-suited for non-engineers, as well as being a good starting point for those engineers who want to get a feel for the platform before going through the full installation process. Second, several developers have commented in our forums expressing interest in a Windows development environment. I'd like to let you know that we are working on this request, and you will see us respond in two phases. We shortly will have information on better packaging of a virtual Linux machine running under Windows. In addition, we plan to add the ability to run NuPIC on native Windows, but that will take longer. Those of you who have subscribed to the developer newsletter will receive further details shortly. Finally, I wanted to let you know that we are pleased with the response to our launch. We've had nearly 2000 people download the platform, and have been excited to watch the forum and wiki sections become active. We're just at the beginning of an exciting new era, and want to thank you for your early and enthusiastic participation.
